| Reading the many questions about the various problems was such that when the cover is closed lighters, starts to go black smoke ... Post it somehow got lost once, and thought in his head remained, and did not give rest ...))), and given that I was not able to find the author of the message, decided to create a new topic and express your thoughts here ... Whence are the black smoke? Not yavlyas expert Zippo, and not being a chemist, I'll try to understand at least the physics of the process ...)))) Once there is a fire and oil, which they had not been cleaned, it should be soot should be waste from the combustion of ... took my lighter ( I use it for three months, gasoline - home, storage strictly vertical), and what I see? Plaque! At the spot where the fuse goes out (see below photo). Here they deposit! And of course, on the wick as many as you want ... We light the flame, the metal parts are heated and cotton - the cover is closed. "Room" remained unaired. Here you have a place to condensation! Hence the presence of rust on the wheels, which also wrote some ... Together with all this, the deposits + moisture, make this mixture dymuchey. The solution? Clean lighter as pollution, can pull and trim the wick, if very beginning to worry. Generally monitor the cleanliness, well, try to use high quality fuel ... Not much I've been divorced? ))))) Well, just where and with whom I talk about a lighter? .. )))) Dear, admin, if my topic was out of place, then move it to destination ...))) |

Well, there's the lighters and say :) I noticed black smoke in ponostyu tucked igniting, and as a result of the flame - when burning Zippo lift up sharply, and when the wick is where it was before the fire. Of course, the smoke - unburned particles is empty and clean, but still containing hydrocarbon fuel. Soot. Apparently when they open burning go up, and when the rest on the cover, or a flame, they can be seen. What about cleaning the lighter: I clean it about once a month, three cotton swab moistened with Z-gasoline, wiping the inside of the windshield. I do not touch the wick. every six months - a deep cleaning: make out wool, take out the fuse, cut off (or not) charred part of it, depending on the state, at the same time by the same sticks rubbed windshield, because it is easier to get at it. Collected back cotton and whet! :) One of my friend uses Zippo already, 3. And one said proudly that never once trimmed or brushed lighter. I do not understand it ... Burn-it will, but with a normal wick and vyschchischennaya - will burn better :) By the way, three months ago I made out wool, cut the wick to negorevshey part. So during this time, its thickness has declined! Burn it, despite the fact that the fuel pours regularly and wipe it does not burn. |

| Here, too, they say no wick burns, how not progaraet!? even as progaraet if always use and do not touch the wick in a couple of years there will remain some delays and will have nothing to show off :) I do the same activities as the Botas. Naturally, it is better off if followed her to look after the car, too, can go without changing anything, but what this means :)

| My two cents. Personal experience shows that more than 13 years of using lighter (80% of this time the same, that is, say, 10 years) had to trim the wick to about three times half a centimeter ... and ... In this, the burning has always been at the height of . Soot and smoke - do without them, but IMHO, they do not interfere (we yuzaem not "singed" gasoline,?) Combustion. Pruned because the wick burns, and, sure, 30% percent of the paucity tucked lighters, when it is clear that running out of fuel, but squeezes the last stroke of the new record dolgoigraniya purely for myself ... :) and slowly smoldering wick So ... never had to put a new, 70 percent of the old general has not seen the light ... With a good solid spark and fuel authentic smoky wick - not a hindrance at all. |

Quoting a statement that lies in each lighter - "When the wick turns black from soot, pull it up with tweezers so that there was a clean wick (about 1 cm), then cut it exactly at the height of the flame guard. Do this 1 or 2 times a year. After doing two or three shotguns wick, you will need to replace it. For more information visit our website http://www.zippo.ru " |
